Wasting time

it turns out I wasn't the only one who screwed up that day. I hated to go back to work Monday but I guess misery loves company and I was kind of glad I wasn't the only one. Like I said, "I'll do better next time."
My renter's girlfriend came over yesterday evening and talked to me about renting the old house. He thought I already had someone, which I did, but he lost his job so can't rent it. I told her they could but I still had some work to do in it. Someone else at work is interested in the little house when they move out of it so hopefully I'll have them both rented soon. He was always good about paying what he owed in the lil house and helping out so I think it will be alright. There's not going to be any working for the rent anymore. If he does anything I'll pay him then. It was a hassle keeping up with what he did and what to deduct from the rent.
I'm thinking in about 5 years, I'll sell this place with all 3 houses. There's a lot to do by then. I'm shooting for 5 years, anyway.
Its 6AM already and Mama's up so I better get this day started. bye4now

Feel like a Heel

Good thing I can't be voted off at work. There's probably a few others that wish that too. We had our inspection yesterday and I didn't do so well. When its over they give the whole store a score. Thanks to me we got a 91. Management was happy with it but I usually get 100 in my dept and got an 80. I had been working over every day so everything would be just right. When they were checking me ,it was going just fine; my books were right, my hazardous claims were all right but in one of my boxes I scanned 1 item twice when I only had one, then another I scanned once and I had 2. I have really been kicking myself. My friends at work said its human to make mistakes, that I was tired and kept getting interupted. I knew I was tired so I should had concentrated better. My helper has been sick for 2 weeks so I've been doing it all. I can't help think what our score could have been.:-( I'll do better next time. One of my bosses sent someone for me to go see her outside. I thought, "outside?" It was for me to give her an answer to one of the questions they ask..Whew! She's never chewed me out but there's always a first time.
I'm off today because I worked too many hours. They don't like OT. A lot of good it did. Now thats enough whining! Not sure what all I'm going to do today. If it doesn't rain, I'll go paint; if it does rain, I'll...clean house or something.
My renter is moving out. Don't know when but he's getting married for the 5th time. I wished him luck and told him I would miss my handyman and front porch chats. So, Ill be getting 2 houses ready to rent. Time 4asmoke, bye.

Same o stuff

My new years first week was like most of us. Just continuing from the last one. Wouldn't it be nice if you could really start fresh and only take the good stuff to the next year? I'm day dreaming again. Wishing all the work was done around here. By the time it gets done, another storm will come. I started painting in the old house today. I was going to work in the yard afterwards but my renter told me to leave my chain saw where he could find it tomorrow and he would work in the yard. Good! I hope we get it all done before the last pick up so I don't have to get it hauled off.
I don't know yet when they are going to start working on my house. He showed up Monday and gave me his bid. I was afraid I was going to have to add him to my "do not call" list. His bid is more than what my insurance gave me. Now I'm trying to contact my adjuster about getting more money.
I'm going to put in for a vacation tomorrow for the end of February. I'll be counting the days:-) I don't know if we will go anywhere. Mama wants to go put flowers on Daddys grave for his birthday. Its the 22nd of Feb. And ofcourse I want to see my son and grandson. I also need to be working in the old house to get it rentable. I'm going to do as much as I can myself before I hire anyone to work on it. My renter helps sometimes, too.
Think I'll go out for a smoke, now, since I can't remember what I was going to post about. I was thinking about something earlier when I was outside. It wasn't about the above stuff..I just threw that in until I remembered what I was going to say..hum..a case of CRS, perhaps:-)bbl
